Id like to welcome nasa administrator, Jim Bridenstine and ken bowersox to the subcommittee this morning. Earlier this year, nasa commemorated the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon, which remains the single most successful and Famous Mission and nasas history. Just a week before our bill was marked up in subcommittee, nasa submitted a 1. 6 Million Dollar Budget Amendment that intended to advance our humans to the years. This blowup obtained more information from nasa, regarding its plans to return to the moon. Of all of us on the subcommittee, we would like to send the first woman astronaut into the deep space, including to the surface of the moon and we want to do it in a responsible way, from the perspective of safety, cost and likelihood of success. As most of you know, i have been a strong supporter of nasa and we provide nasa more than 22. 3 billion in our house bill. However, i remain extremely concerned about the additional cause to accelerate the mission by four years
